  • New Yorker conservatives fear city will become Sadiq Khan’s London

    With Zohran Mamdani emerging as the clear frontrunner to be the next mayor of New York, American conservatives have another Left-wing, Muslim, big city mayor in their sights: Sir Sadiq Khan. They see a warning from across the Atlantic, where they say progressive policies have accelerated crime rates and economic challenges in London. Then there is religion. “And we must ask ourselves the question and we have the courage to do this on our show,” as Charlie Kirk, the conservative campaigner put it on his podcast three months before being shot dead, “are you comfortable with both London and New...

    Mamdani's Ivy League professor father added America was the 'genesis' for modern 'settler-colonialism'New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's father, a longtime academic and Ivy League professor, said during a 2022 panel discussion about one of his many books that Adolf Hitler drew his inspiration for the Holocaust from Abraham Lincoln.The younger Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, has credited his parents with providing him a "privileged upbringing," one that included frequent discussions on politics and global affairs, according to a New York Times profile on the mayoral candidate and his parents. Mamdani's mother is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker. During a 2022 panel...

    A prominent Bangladeshi business leader from Queens is turning his back on Zohran Mamdani after repeatedly backing the socialist lawmaker — and urging his community to now block the prostitution-boosting pol from becoming mayor. “Supporting prostitution means supporting human trafficking,” said Fahad Solaiman, who lives near the infamously sex-worker-riddled Roosevelt Avenue. Solaiman, who plans to vote for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, urged members of his mosque to also reject the progressive Democratic nominee in an exclusive interview with The Post Friday. “Come over here in the evening, after 8 o’clock, after the sun sets, you will see that you cannot...

    He’s raking in some ‘Cuo’ hard cash. Andrew Cuomo’s bid to topple mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani gained some steam this week – as the former governor raised an eye-whopping $400,000 in donations following Eric Adams’ exit from the race. The six-figure haul came in just under two days following Hizzoner’s announcement that he was dropping his long-shot independent re-election bid on Sunday, according to a campaign source. The loot was just shy of the $421,000 Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa raised over the entire Aug. 19 to Sept. 29 filing deadline. “Voters are just now tuning into this race, and they...

    The Mamdani momentum is taking the country by storm. After his big New York City primary win shocked the Democratic establishment, socialists like Zohran Mamdani are not just gaining popularity, but are actually being recognized as serious candidates in elections across the nation. One of those key elections is the Minneapolis mayoral race, where Democratic Socialist State Senator Omar Fateh is now just 5 points behind incumbent Democratic mayor Jacob Frey, who is seeking reelection for a third term. Fateh joins Mehdi to discuss the mayoral race, the racist and Islamophobic attacks he’s received, and how he plans to stand...

    On the first day of a federal government shutdown, New York City is finding out how expensive its commitment to leftist principles of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" is going to be under President Donald Trump's administration. Russ Vought, the White House Office of Management and Budget director, took to social media on Wednesday to announce the administration has frozen federal funding for two major transportation projects in the Big Apple. And even in New York City, $18 billion is a lot of money. Russ Vought (on X) @russvought Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put...
  • Andrew Cuomo apologizes to Jewish New Yorkers for COVID-19 lockdowns

    Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologized to Jewish New Yorkers for lockdowns he imposed during the COVID-19 outbreak five years ago that banned large gatherings, closed schools and disrupted religious traditions. The mea culpa comes just hours before the beginning of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar when one is meant to atone for sins — and while Cuomo runs as an underdog in his political comeback bid for mayor. In the video, Cuomo said he made decisions to protect the health and safety of New Yorkers during the once-in-a-century pandemic that killed about 80,000 residents. “However, I recognize...
  • Mamdani on Trump calling him a communist: ‘I am a democratic socialist’

    Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City, defended his politics in a Monday interview in response to President Trump repeatedly labeling him a “communist.” CNN’s Erin Burnett played a compilation of clips of Trump calling Mamdani a communist and asked Mamdani directly, “Are you?” “No. I’m a democratic socialist,” Mamdani said. “I’ve said that time and again.” Mamdani said it reveals something about the state of American politics that Trump is dissatisfied with amplifying Mamdani’s true identity of “democratic socialist” and instead continues to call him a communist. “I think it reflects the fact that… whereas...
  • Andrew Cuomo is now the lesser of two evils: Eric Adams has dropped out of the mayoral race leaving New Yorkers with a grim choice

    The Spectator World ^ | 09/29/25 | David Sypher Jr.
    New York City politics has rarely offered voters a clean choice. This year, with Eric Adams out of the mayor’s race, the city faces one of its grimmest dilemmas yet: Andrew Cuomo or Zohran Mamdani. Let’s be clear – this is not an endorsement of Cuomo. The former governor has baggage that most voters can recite from memory. But politics isn’t about picking saints; it’s about survival. And when survival is on the line, sometimes the only responsible thing to do is choose the lesser of two evils. Cuomo may be corrupt, arrogant and heavy-handed. But at least he governs...

    Eric Adams, as was becoming apparent for many months, will be a one-term mayor.Adams, who announced he was dropping his reelection bid on Sunday, has long been politically doomed. Multiple corruption scandals have embroiled his administration, and he and his closest aides were indicted. Even before the indictments arrived, he was bleeding out support. Adams was not a mayor devoid of accomplishments, but he had fewer of them than his predecessors and rarely seemed to be engaged with the mechanics of governing. New Yorkers wearied of his act and it became clear, more than a year ago, he had no...

    Mayor Eric Adams did the right thing, and a very hard thing, in dropping his re-election bid Sunday; we expect he’ll devote his final months in office to some crucial final services to the public as New York City’s chief executive. With competing in November off the table, he’s liberated to do what he’s always done best: Stand up as the voice of principled, moderate Democrats — a true progressive who can call out the destructive extremism of the frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani. Adams will go down in history as a far better mayor than his recent poll ratings suggest: He...

    New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani holds a 20-point lead over his closest opponent, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in a Suffolk University CityView poll released this week. The survey, which includes likely voters in November’s general election, shows Mamdani in the lead with 45 percent support, followed by Cuomo with 25 percent, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa with 9 percent and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams with 8 percent. Cuomo and Adams are running as independents. Three other candidates — Conservative Party nominee Irene Estrada, independent Joseph Hernandez and independent Jim Walden — earn a combined 1 percent...

    (The Center Square) — Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has pulled out of a planned town hall debate by an ABC affiliate over the network's decision to pull the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman with a double-digit lead over other competitors in the race, announced Monday that he won't be participating in Wednesday's WABC-TV Town Hall "in an act of protest against the Trump administration’s dangerous crackdowns on free expression." "I am withdrawing not as an indictment of the local affiliate or the hardworking journalists, but rather in response to the corporate...

    New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks backing an antisemitic mayoral candidate will help get her re-elected. Others in the party are wondering and wavering.Was it a sign of growing confidence that his victory in November was inevitable, or merely just another indication of the strength of his hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews? Perhaps it’s a bit of both. Either way, it’s clear that Zohran Mamdani feels no need to feint to the center or water down his fervent anti-Zionism.When the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City promised to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Kathy Hochul announced her endorsement of Mamdani, saying "this bright young star of the Democratic Party is showing us how to win the hearts and minds of the working classes. I enthusiastically urge the voters of New York City to make him their next mayor. I hope we can both work together to keep the fascist Republicans from thwarting the people's revolution we both support."

    He’s taking a left hook. State Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs’ refusal to back socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid is turning the party’s ideological rift into a full-blown crater — as lefties call on the longtime boss to resign and moderates hail his “common sense” take. Moderate mayoral candidates Eric Adams, the incumbent, and Andrew Cuomo, the former thrice-elected Democratic governor, were among those praising Jacobs on Friday for standing up to Mamdani’s radical views. But support from the pair – who are Dems running as independents – was arguably lost in the progressive blowback against Jacobs for bucking newfound Mamdani...
